    3 Flushing Meadows Corona Park Strategic Framework Plan

    Possible reconfiguration of the Meadow Lake edge with new topographic variation Flushing Meadows Corona Park Strategic Framework Plan 36 Quennell Rothschild & Partners | Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects Vision & Goals The river and the lakes organize the space of the Park. Our view of the Park as an ecology of activity calls for a large-scale reorganization of program. As the first phase in the installation of corridors of activity we propose to daylight the Flushing River and to reconfigure the lakes to create a continuous ribbon of water back to Flushing Bay. RECONFIGURE & RESTORE THE LAKES Flushing Meadows Corona Park is defined by water. Today, the Park meets Flushing Bay at its extreme northern channel without significantly impacting the ecological characteristics of Willow and Meadow Lakes and their end. At its southern end, the Park is dominated by the two large lakes, Willow Lake and Meadow Lake, created for shorelines. In fact, additional dredged material would be valuable resource for the reconfiguration of the lakes’ the 1939 World’s Fair. shoreline. This proposal would, of course, require construction of a larger bridge at Jewel Avenue and a redesign of the Park road system. The hydrology of FMCP was shaped by humans. The site prior to human interference was a tidal wetland. Between 1906 and 1934, the site was filled with ash and garbage. Historic maps prior to the ‘39 Fair show the Flushing To realize the lakes’ ecological value and their potential as a recreation resource with more usable shoreline and Creek meandering along widely varying routes through what later became the Park.

    Chapter 10: Responses to Comments on the Draft EIS1 A

    Chapter 10: Responses to Comments on the Draft EIS1 A. INTRODUCTION This chapter of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) summarizes and responds to substantive comments received during the public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), issued on March 22, 2019, for the proposed NYC Borough-Based Jail System. City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) requires a public hearing on the DEIS as part of the environmental review process. The DEIS public hearing was held on July 10, 2019, at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Theater, 524 West 59th Street, New York, NY at 10:00 AM. The comment period remained open through Monday, July 22, 2019. Section B contains a summary of relevant comments on the DEIS and a response to each. These summaries convey the substance of the comments made, but do not necessarily quote the comments verbatim. Comments are organized by subject matter and generally parallel the chapter structure of the DEIS. Where more than one commenter expressed similar views, those comments have been grouped and addressed together. Commenters who expressed general support or general opposition but did not provide substantive comments on the DEIS are listed at the end of Section B. A list of organizations and individuals who commented can be found in Section C. All written comments are included in Appendix K, “Written Comments Received on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.” Where relevant, in response to comments on the DEIS, changes have been made and are shown with double underlines in the FEIS. B. COMMENTS AND RESPONSES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Comment 1: CB1 is on record objecting to the administration’s “opaque site selection and lack of community input” for the Manhattan BBJ project, and CB1 continues to believe the administration should reconsider its selection of the Manhattan site in conjunction with a process of meaningful community engagement on site selection.
  • The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Presents Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22Nd Street Showcasing a Recent Gift to the Museum

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Presents Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22Nd Street Showcasing a Recent Gift to the Museum

    Image caption on page 3 The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22nd Street showcasing a recent gift to the museum. 348 West 22nd Street, Apartment A, Unit-2, Staircase (2011–15) replicates the artist’s ground-floor residence from a New York City building. Created in luminous swaths of translucent polyester, the rooms and hallways are supported by stainless-steel. In this immersive passageway of conjoined rooms, visitors pass through an ephemeral representation of the artist’s personal history. The corridor, stairs, apartment, and studio are each rendered in a single block of color, with fixtures and appliances replicated in exacting detail. Fusing traditional Korean sewing techniques with digital modeling tools, the maze-like installation of 348 West 22nd Street balances intricate construction with delicate monumentality. The installation is curated by Meghan Doherty, Curatorial Assistant, Contemporary Art at LACMA. Inspired by his own history of migration, Suh’s ethereal, malleable architecture presents an intimate world both deeply familiar and profoundly estranged. The artist’s works elicit a physical manifestation of memory, exploring ideas of personal history, cultural tradition, and belief systems in the contemporary world. Best known for his full-size fabric reconstructions of places he has lived including former residences in Seoul, Providence, New York, Berlin, and London, Suh’s creations of physicalized memory address issues of home, displacement, individuality, and collectivity, articulated through the architecture of domestic space. 348 West 22nd Street, Apartment A, Unit-2, Staircase is the second work by Do Ho Suh to enter LACMA’s collection, following the artist’s Gate (2005) which was acquired by the museum in 2006.
